Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

It looks like you have pityriasis versicolor, a superficial fungal infection (attachment removed to protect patient identity).

Take the following medications:

  1. Tablet Fluconazole 400 mg one tablet today and then take another after a week.
  2. Use Ketoconazole 2 % shampoo as a body wash. Apply it on rash at the time of bath, leave it for five minutes and rinse. Do this every other day for a month.
  3. It might take 1 to 2 months for the rash to subside.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
